Nomzi Madikane: Circulation Librarian – UFHIII and service delivery to customers

Abstract:

In academic institutions, libraries are fundamental repositories for information dissemination. Libraries have undergone many changes and transformations lately and these new changes give them opportunities to improve and offer better services. Academic libraries can, with the use of the III system enhance service delivery to the customers through direct access to authentic information.

Service delivery is a vital task in terms of maintaining quality service, customer satisfaction and customer retention. The library customers have a choice when it comes to information seeking more than ever before, therefore libraries need to devise ways of assessing how effectively the library III system deliv-

5

ers its services to the customers.The paper seeks to investigate the role of the III system, (Circulation module), in delivering services in libraries to the customers and to try to find factors that may compromise service delivery in libraries using the III system. In an effort to identify these factors that have a potential of compromising service delivery, data will be collected from users of the III Circulation module at SEALS consortium.

Sizeni Makhathini: Library Statistical Reporter – UNISAEntice and retain your Library clients through quality serviceAbstract:

Academic libraries globally are facing two major threats namely the digital landscape, as well as an increase in competition in terms of access. For academic libraries to survive, it is crucial that the quality of their services is improved to attract new clients and retain old library clients. Historically the service quality of an academic library was measured by the collection size, library holdings and information resources usage. Academic libraries need to ensure that quality service is provided to library users to avoid being “white elephants”. It is important that apart from the collection size, libraries monitor the physical visits by different library clients to assist the Library Management to make informed decisions to improve business performance and identify gaps in library services and facilities.

Academic libraries need to find ways of gathering gate count statistics by different user categories to measure services in line with user needs. As libraries are facing the threat of digital environments, it is crucial that libraries are always a step ahead to ensure that library buildings are designed to attract 21st cen-tury library clients and relevant services are offered, or libraries will lose its value. Relevant services should attract library clients to always want to come to the libraries because of quality service offered that cannot be found anywhere but only in libraries. It is important for libraries to attract library clients in any possible way, rather than only concentrating on the circulation of library materials. Some of the areas that need to be focused on are; user friendly academic databases, research facilities and well trained library staff to provide quality service in order for library clients to view the library as their home. Academic libraries are always described as the heart of the learning community that provides a space for students, lecturers and researchers to conduct research and advance knowledge.

The Unisa Library has recently reviewed a system to measure patron/user visits and access to the Library. The system provides reports on library visits by dif-ferent user categories during a given time. The presentation will cover the significance of measuring the gate counts in all Unisa Libraries in line with service quality.

Abstract:

The South East Academic Libraries System (SEALS) libraries decided towards the end of 2013 to purchase Encore Duet, the III Encore platform integrated with the EBSCO discovery tool.

We believe that the facets and limiters together with the EBSCO SmartLinks to full text, are important end-user supporting strategies to discover local data end e-resources in our shared bibliographic and separate institutional subscribed database environment. This paper will highlight aspects

6

of the preparation and implementation phase including profiling four EDS knowledge bases, testing links and preparing the four Encore contexts to suit local requirements.

Maretha Allwright: Trust & Systems Manager: SEALSThe joys of data cleanup within the shared record environment

Abstract:

The SEALS Consortium members share a database with about 907,000 bibliographic records. Records from 5 different systems and 8 libraries were merged into one shared database. The Reclamation project (2011) and the move to Sierra (2012) forced us to take a closer look at our database and to focus more on data clean-up projects. A few staff have been working for 4 years on various cleanup projects, but the more we look the more we find. We submitted a report on our findings to the SEALS Directors and the SEALS Standards Cataloguing Module Group, highlighting the size and scope of the problem areas. This paper discusses what we found, why we have to look back, how we intend to correct problem areas reported and who will be involved.

CV:
